How manual roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Aluminium curtains are often chosen for push-up shutters because they are lighter to lift every day. Springs lose tension over time, so a manual shutter that has become heavy to lift usually needs adjustment rather than replacement.
Push-up operation is best kept to smaller openings; above about 3m wide a crank or motor is normally more practical. Because there is no wiring, a manual shutter avoids the cost of a power supply and electrical connection.
Specification options
- Can be converted to electric later
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths
- Spring-balanced push-up operation
- Bottom-rail and padlock locking options
- Hand-crank gearbox for wider or heavier curtains
- Solid or perforated curtains

Where we work around Horley
Jobs in Horley are planned as part of our Surrey coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Crawley, Redhill and Reigate. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about manual roller shutters in Horley
Do you cover Horley?
Yes. Horley (RH6) is within our Surrey coverage, along with nearby Crawley, Redhill and Reigate.
Can I add a motor later?
Yes, in many cases. If the curtain, barrel and box are in good order, a tube motor and key switch can be fitted. See our manual-to-electric conversion service.
What is the widest manual shutter?
Push-up shutters work best up to about 3m wide. Wider or heavier curtains are normally fitted with a hand crank or a motor so they can be operated safely.
Are manual shutters less secure than electric ones?
Not inherently. Security comes from the curtain, guides and locks. Manual shutters are secured with bottom-rail locks or padlocks, while electric shutters are held down by the motor and locks.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
